Ready to Go

School has certainly started again.

Colds.

Homework.

Less time.

But they’ve adjusted well.

They were ready to go back.

The Littles

It was hard for Thunderer to not photobomb them while these solo pictures were being taken. Couldn’t really hold her back when it was time for the elementary schoolers’ group picture.

She also wanted to pose real quick with her doll.

Yard Play

This summer was just too hot most of the time. Which was really disappointing.

The time we did get outside was cherished though, and we made the most of it.

Both in the back yard…

And the front.

Floating Away

Before departing for Colorado to help a friend post surgery Redflare made some rootbeer floats for everybody.

They seemed to really appreciate it.

Static!

While the teens weren’t happy about this excursion to the park, the little ones were. It was hard for Redflare to get pictures since she was at the park by herself after I’d already left for work, but I love this shot because Thunderer’s hair is going wild from the static.

Mall Run

I can’t remember exactly why we headed out to the mall, I think it involved one of the kids needing shoes.

It gave us an opportunity for them to admire a giant teddy bear as we passed through the closing Herberger’s though.

And also a chance to admire a squishy face.

And a contented face.

Birthday Boy

A week later, it was Superman’s turn for his birthday!

Naturally he got everybody up nice and early.

Then he immediately started admiring his gifts.

This ‘tornado in a bottle’ was a surprise favorite. Very zen to watch I suppose.

We didn’t make him pause and take a picture with everything but I know for sure I helped him put this together the same day he got it. I fear Thunderer may have run off with the characters at the moment, but they’ll turn back up.
